Bacher Premium Double-Sided Leather Strop Kit for Knife Sharpening and Woodworking

About this item

• HAND-CRAFTED in Poland: A leather strop designed for knife honing, constructed from top-grade 3mm (1/8") vegetable-tanned leather, processed using a 17th-century technique from the Podhale area. The handle, shaped like a paddle and made from Beechwood (Fagus sylvatica), is sourced from the forests of the Carpathian mountains. We ensure that all wood is derived from sustainably managed forests, verified by an FSC certification. Both elements are meticulously handcrafted into a superior sharpening strop, ensuring that your knife or straight razor remains extremely sharp.
• WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS: This premium leather sharpening strop can be used for honing/buffing straight razors, chisels, hunting knives, pocket knives, kitchen (chefs) knives, and many other tools that need the sharpest edge possible.
• SPECIAL HONING COMPOUNDS: Softening balm and 4 grits of special Bacher polishing compound are included. Soft and easy to apply, designed to be used especially on leather honing belts and strops. The balm softens and conditions the leather. Thanks to lanoline and beeswax additions. 7g (1/4 oz) each. Approximately grain: Red 2000 (medium), White 5000 (fine), Green 8000 (very-fine), Black 12000 (ultra-fine).
• VERSATILE AND EASY TO USE: Apply chosen polishing compound on one or both sides of leather strop. Most customers use white compounds on the rough side while green compounds on the smooth side. You might prefer coarser or finer grit. You can also leave the smooth side free of the compound for ultra-fine touch-ups. Always strop after sharpening your finest stone by pulling the blade backwards with low pressure. It is important to keep the same (or a little bit shallower) angle you sharpen at.
• LARGE AND COMFORTABLE: The big size of the strop and large working surface of the stropping leather provides flexibility when polishing the blade. The length is 320mm (12.6") & width is 60mm (2.36") in total. Working area length is 206mm (8.11") x width is 56mm (2.17"). The double-sided paddle strop has smooth and rough leather to choose from according to your preferences.
